COREY:

Here he comes. Hold up a fish,

he'll take it right outta your hand.

Pappas surfaces in an explosion of spray as he sputters

for breath. He grabs the edge and angrily slaps two

bricks on the tiles. He rips off the blindfold looks up

and frowns.

A HAND ENTERS FRAME to help him up. Pappas takes it and

Johnny hauls him on deck.

COREY:

Hey Shamu, this is your guy.

Pappas eyes the new agent warily. Extends his hand.

PAPPAS:

Pappas. Angelo Pappas.

UTAH:

Punk. Quarterback Punk.

PAPPAS:

(grinning)

Welcome to Sea World, kid.

INT. SEDAN - DAY

SERIES OF TIGHT SHOTS

ECU sweep hand of a dive watch clicks through the

seconds.

Magnum shells are fed into a pump shotgun.

Velcro straps of Second Chance body armor are fastened.

White gloves are pulled snug over strong hands.

A silk tie is straightened. A shotgun slide is cocked.

The sweep hand approaches the twelve.

A LATEX MASK is pulled over the back of a man's head.

VOICE:

The little hand says...

The mask turns into FULL CLOSE-UP. It is RONALD REAGAN.

REAGAN:

... let's rock and roll.

INT. BANK OF AMERICA

Business as usual. The scene so normal you know something

is about to happen. An exiting MAN stuffs bucks into his

wallet, reaching for the door which--

SLAMS INWARD. He is hit by a wall of EX-PRESIDENTS.

REAGAN charges in with his buddies RICHARD M. NIXON,

LYNDON BAINES JOHNSON and JOHN F. KENNEDY.

Reagan throws the poor guy skidding across the floor.

Nixon buttstrokes a guard, hard in the nuts, with his 12

gauge.

The other guard goes for his holster -- finds himself

facing three shotguns and one very large handgun.

Reagan sights down the pistol.

REAGAN:

Use a gun, go to heaven.

The guard freezes. White and sweaty.

Tricky Dick slips up to him and collects the pistol.

Kennedy covers the stunned customers.

Johnson backs up against the door jam, watching the

street, and the sedan idling at the curb.

REAGAN:

EVERYBODY FREEZE!! That's right.

ALL TELLERS step back from the

counter! Hands on heads! MOVE!!

Nixon and Reagan move quickly to the counter as the

tellers comply.

REAGAN:

Everybody else on the floor! Do it!

On the floor, let's go.
